With a late mid-afternoon up up and away we have finally engulfed ourselves into Missouri. KFC at the Dougherty house, a nice sit down and gossip set-up we met Debbie's sister and friend. A good stretch and a few pea size applications of Chamois butter we hit the streets. Skipper over the hills to get around going through Hannibal again we found ourselves right on track on the other side and heading West. With help from the Missouri tax payers we get a brand new divided two lane and half of it to ourselves (Below).
Few miles down the road we are hailed by two Motorcyclists who have come from Pennsylvania on their way to Portland. We talk about routes and dates (not with each other just departure and arrivals) head off (Below).
It was already getting late so we peruse into Monroe City, MO. Just a few miles from Hannibal, due to our late start. We grow hungrier with every mile and so decided to stop and search for handouts. Pizza Hut was somewhat hesitant but nonetheless we got our cheesy bread sticks. Scarfed down some PB&J and BOOM! cheesy bread stick throws a wrench into our GI gears and we need a place to stay there will be no more riding today. We rode down through the square looking for a nice yard to ask about staying there and we find a finely placed methodists church with a wonderfully shady tree. We set camp and spend the night, taking it way easy.
Miles: 26
Morale: Indigestionesque
